The 100% fix is easy. I had the same problem plaguing me for months. Addins were the problem. The main culprits for me were "iTunes Outlook Addin" and "Exchange Extensions property pages," neither of which I have any use for. After following the instructions at http://forums.techarena.in/windows-software/1193896.htm you will need to end the OUTLOOK.exe process from your Task Manager or just reboot. Now everything works great!

This doesn't solve the problem 100%, but i think i figured out a way to avoid the reboot. Close outlook, CTRL+ALT+DEL to get to Task Manager, you may find Outlook.exe still running under the Process tab, End the process, restart outlook. Then click send/receive.

Hi! Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
I am using Outlook 2003 and my computer is running Vista.
I am having problems receiving mail via Outlook. It is connected to a pop
account and it worked fine then last night it stopped receiving mail. I
can still send email.
And my email is still going to the server, because I can read it if I connect
to webmail - as well as on my iphone- it just doesn't download to my
Outlook. Other weird things:
1) Now when I press send/receive the button flashes
orange (it is activated), but then nothing pops up, although mail in the
outbox will go.
2) I tested the Outlook settings again, and the test worked fine, including
connecting to the incoming mail server. However, I never receive the test
messages in my Outlook inbox, although they are visible in my webmail inbox.
3) I wanted to make sure that the send/receive groups settings were set to
check often for mail, but if I go into send/receive options and try to click
on "define send/receive groups", it highlights orange (ie it is activated),
but nothing will pop up - I can't get into those settings.
I've read through all the other posts I can find, and tried various things,
such as:
-checking all of the incoming/outgoing settings
-creating a new profile
-turning off the virus checker for email
I have AVG Free virus scanner software on my computer, and I
turned the email scanner part off. No luck.
No luck! any suggestions????
thank you so much for any help you can provide!

You have my complete sympathy - I have had this problem consistently since I
installed Outlook 2007 on a new pc with Vista 6 months ago. I have not
received any useful information from anyone and have continued to reboot as
often as necessary to send and receive e-mail. Given that I never had the
problem with Outlook 2007 and XP, I am assuming that Vista is the culprit,
but no one, including Microsoft, can confirm or deny. BTW - I don't have the
problem when I am using Windows Live Mail. Good luck.

I don't think VISTA is the culprit. I have XP and Outlook 2003 and have had the same problem for several months now. I am usually capable of troubleshooting pc issues, but this one has me stumped.
I have several email accounts setup in outlook 2003, including one http account (hotmail), and several pop accounts. The http account will continue to receive email, but the pop requires the reboot.
